boot floors are part of crumple zone, its meant to crease, you just put it on the rack and pull it straight again. as long as your rails aren't kinked its easy panel beating with parts from a donor cut if the floor's too creased to pull straight.

it'll cost the workshop about 3k to 5k to fix, but obviously they're gonna quote you 8k to make a tidy profit, they're not a charity.

If you don't have a workshop hookup that'll look after you, your best option is find a couple of workshops that'll give you high quotes, enough to write off the car. Just Car's threshold is 70% to 75% of the value of the car. Sometimes you might have to pay em a $100 to make em give you two quotes high enough to get the payout. For them its $100 for typing up a piece of paper and getting the shop down the road to do the same.

Its a good deal Brandon. Tristans car does epic skids :P

I dont think 8k is unreasonable. It would be a fair amount of work to straighten up the car properly and things will always come up which are unexpected. Its probably a 6k job but the guy has given himself a buffer.

PS: GTR + RWD Mode?...

Yea. If it's in my hand it'll be end up like that s15 in the Tokyo Drift movie. Time to knock off work!

You!

I just got a Do Luck Torque Manager with some of krudd's money.

Its fuckin epic. Better than all the other ETS's on the marke. Lets you select what speed you want it to operate at, what torque spilt you want while cornering, and what torque spilt to use while going straight. You want this in your car, along with more low.

use a translator on this site:

If you wanna be sneaky, tell em the agreed value of the car is 20k. So when they do the maths they'll think that if they quote around 10k to 12k they'll still get the job.

I have other things that need attention before that is considered. But one will be going in the car eventually :P

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
